Looks at the Coalition Provisional Authority's efforts to rebuild
Iraq's security sector and provides lessons learned. From May 2003
to June 28, 2004 (when it handed over authority to the Iraqi
Interim Government), the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA)
worked to field Iraqi security forces and to develop security
sector institutions. This book - all of whose authors were advisors
to the CPA-breaks out the various elements of Iraq's security
sector, including the defense, interior, and justice sectors, and
assesses the CPA's successes and failures.
This study recommends that the LAPD adopts a concept of police
professionalism that incorporates corporateness, responsibility and
expertise to guide the its training, to include training: the use
of force; search and seizure; arrest procedures; community
policing; and diversity awareness.
Outside supporters, including state and non-state sponsors, of
insurgent movements offer various forms of assistance to insurgents
based on a wide range of motivations. The most useful forms of
outside support for an insurgent movement include safe havens,
financial support, political backing, and direct military
assistance. Because states are able to provide all of these types
of assistance, their support has had a profound impact on the
effectiveness of many rebel movements since the end of the Cold
War. However, state support is no longer the only, or indeed
necessarily the most important, game in town. Diasporas have played
a particularly important role in sustaining several strong
insurgencies. More rarely, refugees, guerrilla groups, or other
types of non-state supporters play a significant role in creating
or sustaining an insurgency, offering fighters, training, or other
forms of assistance. This report assesses post-Cold War trends in
external support for insurgent movements. It describes the
frequency that states, diasporas, refugees, and other non-state
actors back guerrilla movements. It also assesses the motivations
of these actors and which types of support matter most. This book
concludes by assessing the implications for analysts of insurgent
movements.
